Nothing has changed about saturated fat. It's a killer, particularly for
sedentary people, and most of us are sedentary. Even eggs, which are very
high in cholesterol, are not in and of themselves bad for you, but the
cheese and bacon and butter we have with them that clogs arteries.

Butter is *not* good for you. Doing without altogether and just using
monosaturated or polyunsaturated fats would be best. This leaves out the
whole topic of margarine.
